Fictional Stories for Younger Readers
CELEBRATING NEURODIVERSITY
The Girl Behind the Mask is a story of recognising that everyone has a light inside — some just need help unmasking it!
‘Every girl has a light inside her.
Some hide it behind a mask.
Some let it shine.’
Masking is something many autistic girls learn to do — often long before anyone notices they’re struggling.
In The Girl Behind the Mask, readers walk alongside Sophie as she navigates school, sensory overload, friendship, and, finally, the empowering moment when she begins to shine as her true self.
With compassion and honesty, this book opens hearts and sparks conversation about neurodiversity, masking, and the strength found in authenticity.
A beautiful tool for families, educators, counsellors, and, most importantly, autistic girls themselves.

When a class project gives Leo the chance to share his passion, everything begins to shift. With the help of a supportive teacher, new friends, and a calm plan he’s proud of, Leo discovers that being different doesn’t mean being wrong—sometimes it means being extraordinary.
